I wouldn't call it settled just yet. Your hand on experience is greatly appreciated, however, I see some issues. Depending on which side the paper hanger was mounted on, and which hand you were using, would that not have an effect on being able to place your thumb on top of the roll?

Furthermore, with the roll mounted in the under position, could you not grasp the paper with your hand, while placing your thumb on the side of the roll to brace it for the tear off?

You raise a good question about the position of the roll on which side of the body. However in practice, it isn't even a close comparison between over or under. In our house my mstr bath has the roll on the right. In our downstairs restroom the roll is on the left. So, on a daily basis both are used without errant unrolling (I'm right handed) For the rill on the right the first two fingers grasp the tp and the last couple of fingers/back of hand push up and hold the roll steady against the holder rod so the roll cant move. Then push away to tear. For the roll on te left is that thumb over the line technique I mentioned.


I will comfortably and without a doubt say that over is better Been doing this for 14yrs now this way and I have cursed every single under roll I have come across. Of course YMMV.

Absolutely it will - - - if you are a little creative. You do some magic on that roll like them characters that make all kinds of things with paper. You create wings on that sucker out of the paper - - and, voalllaa - - up up and away, in my beautiful, my beautiful toilet paperroll. YEH. DUH. ............

Another DUH. Did you read the remote buttons or are you typical male (ALSO - - LOL). One of them suckers reads "Deploy Wings." When depressed, the chair unfolds its wings and up it goes. Simple. .......................

Man, do I have to do everyone's thinking today???? Shorts is exactly right in demanding over the top, but wrong in the performance of the "tear." You grab te desired amount and quickly jerk it - - it will politely detach without even moving the roll, allowing it to await the next deployment.

OK, I am tired from teaching class and retiring to my wheel chair. Bye.

You are so weird.



Mmmmm, yes and no. I've found this method depends on the style of tp and how good the roller holder is. There have been times I've tried this and way too much tp unwound Looked like the cat was playing with it. Usually the unwinding will happen in public/business restrooms.

I'M WEIRD??? I simply wanted to visualize the method you've described! Nevermind, I'LL post a pic then.

Ohh yaaa cause the one armed girl can take a pic of her one arm demonstrating the technique

Y'know, we've never met, but from what I know about you, if you really want to do something, you'll find a way!

So I have been doing some research at the hotel... The results speak for them selfs!

chaikwa

What results? You've used more of one roll than the other. What's that prove? You didn't get stuck on the toilet seat did you?

Here's a whole study on the subject. Have fun!
